Oh, Nvidia. Baby, no...

Desktop and Mobile hardware maker Nvidia surprised the world at CES last night by introducing a handheld device will allow you to control Android apps via both touch and physical controls. This, of course, includes Google's burgeoning stable of gaming apps.

The device, called "Shield", has a 5-inch retinal display, an HDMI-out port, and supports micro-SD cards for additional storage. Evidently it also supports streaming content from PC, which is a rather odd inclusion since the tech still has a ways to go to my understanding.

The inclusion of hardware controls is the most appealing prospect for me, but as you all know, it's completely pointless if developers don't support add support for the device. HDMI is an attractive feature as well.

Perhaps the most exciting part of the device's premier showcase was the revelation of Mad Finger's Dead Trigger 2. It certainly made me think more than a little of PC classic "Painkiller"
